Therefore, Zhao Ji lived in Yanfu Palace most of the time.

Because it was built during the Chengping Festival, the walls of Yanfu Palace were not as high and thick as the original palace, and the defense facilities were not complete, and because the area was too large, Cai Jing guarded the original palace.

Seeing the lights in Yanfu Palace, the soldiers on the wall couldn't help but get nervous.

There is only one road separating the two palaces, and the distance is no more than ten steps. Not to mention bows and crossbows, even javelins can be thrown over.

Sure enough, lanterns and torches were lit on the opposite wall, and many soldiers came out.

Seeing the tense appearance of the soldiers on the opposite side, Li Yongqi smiled and shouted: "Listen to the rebels on the opposite side, Prince Jun ordered that anyone who voluntarily surrenders will not die!

Anyone who kills a soldier to vote will be rewarded with five taels of silver, and whoever kills an official can be replaced. "

"Prince Jun's decree, anyone who voluntarily surrenders will not die! Anyone who kills a soldier and surrenders will be rewarded with five taels of silver! Those who kill officials can be replaced." The officers and soldiers shouted in unison.

"real or fake?"

"You are not joking, the Crown Prince Jun's decree, there will be no fakes, right?"

"Do you want……"

During the turmoil of the rebel army, countless soldiers looked left and right, looking pensive.

It doesn't have to be to do it anyway, but to guard against other people's hands.

"Calm down, don't believe the other side's demagogy? What you have committed is the crime of treason, how can you forgive me?"

Seeing the spirit of the army fluttering, some generals shouted again and again.

The opponent's heart attack is vicious enough, it can be said that everyone is in danger.

"Listen on the opposite side, the prince is kind, and he doesn't want to do more evil, as long as the head of the evil is killed, the followers will not be blamed.

However, the opportunities are limited, those who do not surrender within three days, and those who kill the people in the palace will be killed without mercy! "Li Yongqi continued to shout.

Hearing the three-day deadline, the rebels at the top of the city breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly calculated the strength of it.

The situation is obvious, the imperial palace has been completely surrounded, and it can be said that it is impossible to escape.

Even if the crown prince was suddenly mentally disabled and let Cai Jing hold Zhao Ji away, most of the soldiers would not be able to escape.

If you stay, you will surely die!

Therefore, it is of course excellent to be able to surrender and live.

But fleeing by himself, or fleeing with a few heads, the results are obviously very different.

Seeing that the morale of the army was fluctuating, the officers carefully suppressed it, while sending people to the front to inform Cai Jing and others.

Cai Jing couldn't get away from the front, so Feng Xizai came over.

Li Yongqi led the army and kept shouting, repeating the previous conditions.

"Brothers!" Feng Xizai let go of his literati's reserve, and shouted hoarsely: "The abolished prince disobeyed the imperial decree, committed rebellion, and murdered scholar-bureaucrats without authorization. He is extremely tyrannical and absolutely unbelievable."

Li Yongqi shouted: "All the princes killed were thieves who harmed the people. It is really an act of loving the people. Most of you brothers are from ordinary backgrounds. Isn't this the gospel?"

"Equalizing the tax on the square land increases the burden on the people, but is it good governance?" Feng Xizai continued to refute.

"Equal taxation on the square fields, the big dogs suffer, what does it have to do with us who have no land and no land?" Li Yongqi continued to refute.

Of course Feng Xizai would not allow Li Yongqi to confuse the army and continue to refute.

After all, he was born as a Jinshi, and he had something in his stomach, so he uttered all kinds of excuses without repeating them, but the soldiers listened with gusto.

The conversations at the top of the city continued one after another, and the attention of both sides was attracted.

Under the water of the Jinshui River, shadows and shadows seemed to be swimming.

Fei Bao and Li Jun, leading six soldiers who are proficient in water skills, each held a hollow bamboo tube in their mouths, and slowly moved forward in the water.

Among them was a huge coffin!

This coffin was more than four times the usual size, but it was not for Zhao Ji's restraint, but filled with explosives.

The eight of them went to blow up the city wall.

The Jinshui River enters the city of Kaifeng from the Xianfeng Water Gate, enters the inner city from the Jinshui Gate, and then slopes to the southeast, with one section flowing in the imperial palace.

Therefore, the palace wall has two water gates.

As the residence of the emperor and the center of the world, the defense of the water gate of the palace is of course quite strict.

There are three iron fences in front, middle and back of the water gate, all of which are made of iron rods as thick as arms.

Among the gaps, only one punch can pass through.

Not to mention people, even bigger fish can't pass through.

In addition, the palace has been built for more than [-] years, and there has never been an accident at the water gate, so the defense has also been relaxed.

Apart from the iron fence, there are no other facilities.

The goal of Fei Bao and others is the upstream water gate.

In the eyes of others, the iron fence is of course useless.

Fei Bao and the others were helpless, but their goal was the city wall on the water gate.

The coffin was filled with two thousand catties of gunpowder, enough to knock down the city wall.

Originally, it would be difficult for eight people to carry it. Fortunately, the coffin is half hollow, which provides considerable buoyancy, so it can still be pushed.

Despite the cover of the current, there was still some movement.

The soldiers led by Li Yongqi yelled to persuade them to surrender, of course it was true, and it was also to distract the rebels' attention and cover up the movement underwater.

Sure enough, it was fruitful.

Under the rippling water, Fei Bao and the others said they got under the water gate smoothly.

The iron fence is directly below the inside of the city wall, just right for the coffin.

Eight people carried the coffin to the surface of the water, each took out ropes to fix the gunpowder coffin to the iron gate.

"Brother, take care!" Li Jun arched his hands and led the man back into the water.

Fei Bao watched them leave, held on to the iron door with one hand, and began to sort out the fuzes and fire pockets.
